Though he first recorded in the late-1940s, Dexter Gordon's 1961 signing to Blue Note Records marked the beginning of a career renaissance for the great tenor saxophonist after a tumultuous decade. With the swift one-two punch of his label debut Doin' Allright and Dexter Calling, recorded just three days apart in May 1961, Dexter solidified his return to form with aplomb. Dexter Calling featured an entirely different band with Dexter holding forth at the helm of a potent quartet with pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones.
The set opens with the soulful hard bop gem "Soul Sister" before shifting into high gear and proving his dexterity on hard-charging numbers like "Modal Mood," "I Want More," and "Clear the Dex." Gordon slows down for the stunning ballad "Ernie's Tune" before closing the set with Charlie Chaplin's joyous "Smile."
Blue Note Tone Poet Series
The Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series was born out of Blue Note President Don Was' admiration for the exceptional audiophile Blue Note LP reissues presented by Music Matters. Was brought Joe Harley, a.k.a. the "Tone Poet," on board to curate and supervise a series of reissues from the Blue Note family of labels.
Extreme attention to detail has been paid to getting these right in every conceivable way, from the jacket graphics and printing quality to superior LP mastering (direct from the master tapes) by Kevin Gray to superb 180g audiophile LP pressings by Record Technology Inc. Every aspect of these Tone Poet releases is done to the highest possible standard. It means that you will never find a superior version. This is IT.
This stereo Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio) from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at Record Technology Inc. (RTI), and packaged in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket.
